3 Ch.3- Martial Spirits

Ch.3- Martial Spirits

I am Fu Xuan.

I am a reincarnated person; I know it because I have experienced it.

In my last life I was a native of Elemental nations, a shinobi of Hidden Leaf Village.

Though being a shinobi was not a necessity, especially after the 4th ninja war. It was more of a passion.

This peace was the effort of all the Hidden villages coming together in the war against an external foe.

My name in my last life was Haru Uzumaki.

Greatest talent of the Generation!

Strongest Fuinjutsu Master Ever!

The one who has Tenseigan!

…

And so were the titles given to me by the masses.

My mother was Karin Uzumaki, and my father was Toneri Otsutsuki.

I was the sole inheritor of all the Knowledge the Otsutsuki clan (from moon) possessed.

I was thankful to my father for that.

Making new Jutsu's, researching on seals, and Playing ninja occasionally were some of my hobbies.

'Life was going the best it could until the day the Fire Nation attac- *cough**cough* until the Otsutsu- NO!! Hell, they are not related to me!! Those damned chakra parasites. Yes! Chakra Parasites! Until those 'Chakra Parasites Attacked'.'

It was the day that marked the start of the 5th Great Ninja War.

Well and I died in that war.

Pretty sad right?

But thankfully my special STBR (Soul-To-Body-Restoration) Seal was activated on time.

Well one might wonder what STBR Seal is.

Although still in Prototype stage, it is my greatest achievement in life.

Its effect is not as grand as it may sound.

But it allows the user to restore his memories and experiences from previous life in the next life if ever reborn!

It is my ultimate creation on par with Seiko… right Seiko, well she was like a partner to me, every time with me… There is still some pain in my chest thinking about her, but I can't help it.

But hey! It's not like I can't see her. If luck is good, I can may ever have her as my Martial Spirit.

Anyway, today I have turned 6 and soon will have my Martial Spirit awakened.

This world is different from my previous one.

Here, chakra does not exist.

Something called Soul Power is the native energy source here.

People absorb soul power from the surrounding till they reach the limit and can't anymore. When the limit is reached, they get a spirit beast ring which allows them to cultivate again, this keeps on repeating till they can absorb the said energy from the surrounding.

Or so I thought.

But after getting memories of Bob, I came to understand, this world is a fictional world in another world.

Even my old one was, and Bob after death became a hero who is supposed to fight against such villains in these different worlds.

The real enemy is not told, and it is known that he will appear sometimes somewhere or that the heroes will be made known of them. For now, you just have to gather strength.

I absorbed Bob's soul, so I got his abilities. In return I decided to help do his part of work.

Afterall for a genius like me just how hard could it be?

And so, I accepted his powers with a smile.

Now it's time to explore them.

First thing first, the Ability to view self's status. This doesn't sound like much but let's see before deciding.

'Status'

….

Name: Fu Xuan

Race: Human

Bloodline: None

Martial Spirits: (Unawakened)

Trait: Hero's Blood, (Unawakened), (Unawakened)

Abilities:

Status (Bob), Weapon arts talent S (Bob), Coincidental Luck S (Bob) Energy cultivation talent A (Haruto), Research B (Haruto), Innovation B (Haruto), Analysis C+ (Haruto)

Condition: Healthy, Happy

….

Well, it's impressive. Quite a bunch of abilities I had originally but Bob… only had three but it's all S rank!

The option for Martial spirit and trait shows error. Will it be visible after I awaken my Martial Spirit.

And the Hero's Blood thing, apparently is the thing given by the goddess.

Let's see what it does.

'Hero's blood'

-A hero is the definition of progress, a force which doesn't stop even when death is in front of his face. A hero is ever growing and has no bottle necks in the path of justice.

Quite vague but I get the gist of it. It supposed to allow the user to progress at the fastest speed they can be it in cultivation, training, crafting, etc., and they will never have a bottleneck in their path of strength.

Doesn't that just make your potential limitless?

Well even with the limitless potential, you ought to have a great deal of talent otherwise what is the meaning of running in a 1000Km race with the speed of 1meter per hour.

While thinking this I arrived at the Spirit Hall branch of the Holy spring city.

Holy spring city is a city, famous for its hot springs and natural beauty.

Ther are many small lakes and riverways in the city giving it a novel look compared to other nearby cities.

Peoples from distant places like Star Luo city also come here to spend their vacation.

At such a place Fu Family control most of facilities and businesses here.

Just being born here was a lucky occurrence for me.

As I got inside the Awakening Hall.

I saw huge statues of various famous Martial Spirits like Sky Clear Hammer, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, et., And the grand statue of Seraphim martial Spirit.

There were guards with armors and swords at the side of the entrance.

As they saw my parents who was at the forefront of our group, they all knelt and said, "We greet Elder Fu and Elder Li!"

"It's alright you may rise." Father said while mother simply nodded.

Yeah, even before my sister became Bibi Dong's disciple, Mother was an Elder in spirit Hall, while father also became an Honorary Elder a bit later.

Mother, Li Jinghua is a level 78 Spirit Saint with 'Tool master's Cauldron' Martial Spirit. It is a rare martial spirit which allows one to manipulate various metals and materials to makes Special Weapon's with powerful abilities. Yeah, not pills but weapons.

And Father is a level 79 Spirit Saint with Crimson Silver Grass. It's a mutated version of general Blue Silver Grass, and a powerful martial spirit that manifests as crimson-hued vines with silver veins running through them.

It provides with enhanced regeneration and devouring properties which in turns gives the user with high affinity to yang, water and fire attribute along with the ability to pull out toxins and impurities from other's body.

Both of them with their special nature of Martial Spirits became very well-known at their time, but due to limitations of the support class their speed slowed down considerably over time.

Mother was originally from spirit hall, when the two of them met at the academy the quickly got close and after coming to age got married.

That is the main reason for my older sister to be in spirit hall is our parents. They may not look like it but, mother was once a time fairly close to the Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong.

Afterall they were from same generation, and both were geniuses of Spirit Hall. It will be odd if they don't know each other.

And these guys are very cheerful? I don't know how to explain but they have a very easygoing attitude.

Sometimes it's hard to look at, well the spirit hall does provide with great benefits like giving protection to our family and businesses, we in return do business with them at some discount.

"Xuan, this is the awakening palace of holy spirit city, after we decided to develop this city and make it our main base, I myself have overseen its construction. It looks good, doesn't it? Here you are going to awaken your martial spirit today."

I looked at the main hall and nodded slightly.

At my nod he turned to me and smiled, "Well, I do hope for you to have a awesome martial spirit like your sister but don't worry even if you don't have something great I will still be little Xuan you always are for us."

At his words my mother also nodded.

"I know, father, mother." I replied.

"Let's get done with it quicky I can't wait to see what martial spirit you have!" My mother said excitedly.

We were the only people in the hall currently, as last time they publicly held the awakening ceremony and the news spread like a wildfire.

So, this time they have decided to do it privately.

"Now, get ready! Its time you will start your journey as a spirit Master!"

Said father as he injected soul power in my body.

Soon, I can feel an energy inside my body, a warm feel but not hot.

'Is this soul power? It's similar to chakra but very different at the same time.'

As the soul power entered my body, I can feel myself caged in a glass sphere.

As the glass sphere came in contact with soul power emitted by father, the glass sphere began dissolving and vanishing.

As the sphere vanished, I can feel the same energy spreading inside my body. This was a phenomenon similar to dry land getting watered.

My whole body felt full of strength as if I was only using half of my body it now.

Looking at my parents I knew what I had to do without them telling.

I raised my left hand and delicate tendrils of vibrant purple energy emerged, intertwining and weaving together to form a magnificent display of pulsating vines.

Each vine is adorned with shimmering silver veins with purple glitters, reminiscent of the stars at from the clear night sky.

It's size comparable to that of a large tree touching the roof of the Awakening Hall.

But that wasn't all I knew I had more than one of them, so I raised my right hand.

Nothing happened for a few seconds then, Crimson purple marks and seals starting from my right hand's finger to my left chest. Covering my shoulder and half of upper body.

'Wait! Why does my martial soul resemble a Karma Seal!'

My happy expression started to change to a worried one seeing this thing as my second martial spirit.

'???'

'Now! What the hell is this!'

A/N: So that's it. I have taken inspiration from various places. First, I decided to make him an orphan and all, but rather than some made up family members it's best to have real parents alive so what do you think?

Tell me it should be a harem or not. Cause I can afford to do both I think.
